Been off the grid...how's Oct 2018 looking?

So...I've been off the forums for a while and not at WDW since 2013. I just found out I may have a convention to attend in October of 2018 so that may be the catalyst that gets us out of Disney hibernation. I'm curious what the anticipated state of construction and the parks is looking like for next October. I realize of course that there is many a slip twixt the cup and the lip and that construction completion dates are always theoretical at best.

Also curious what has or will have changed since our last trip in Sept of 2013. We missed the opening of SDMT by about a month so essentially in a timeline from that ride opening forward as a point of reference.

Typically in the southern states. I taught in Tennessee for 6 years, and we had a week each year. I live in Georgia now, and schools do that here too.

It would be the First weekend in October so I am not sure when exactly these southern states have their break but would appreciate any info you have.

So I checked my old district as well as the calendars for the districts near where we live now, and their Fall Breaks are all listed as October 9-13. Don't quote me on this, but when I worked in Tennessee it seemed like most of the districts took the same Fall Break.
